Look Again: Digital accessibility campaign

Look Again is a digital accessibility campaign asking colleagues to take another look at digital content they create to make sure it is accessible to all, regardless of ability. 

Get tips in interactive articles and webinars, grab a sticker to help remind you to use them, and read personal experiences of colleagues and students to help you look again at content from the perspective of users with accessibility needs.
